Are You at Risk For Hypertension?
Factors commonly known to increase the risk for essential hypertension:
• Smoking • Being overweight or obese • Lack of physical activity • Too much salt in the diet • Too much alcohol consumption (more than 1 to 2 drinks per day) • Stress • Older age • Genetics • Family history of high blood pressure • Chronic kidney disease • Adrenal and thyroid disorders
Here's Groover Clinic's broader definition of the term stress:
Stress to is any influence which produces undue pressure of influence upon us causing systemic or functional loss which disrupts our normal homeostasis, our ability to maintain healthy mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and environmental equilibrium.
Groover Clinic suggests the above listed hypertension risk factors positively correlate with the following primary hypertension causations: Behavioral Stress, Environmental Stress, and Genetic Stress, which stressfully influence and produce abnormalities in our primary life functions: Thought, Hydration, Nutrition, Breath, Sleep and Movement, and make these abnormalities secondary hypertension causations.
This graphic illustrates this sequence of hypertension primary and secondary causations and the expression of these causations into signs and hypertension symptoms, followed by serious health consequences:
Behavioral Stress
We live in a world where 27% of men and 30% of women have hypertension, and thee is 90% chance that you will have hypertension after the sixth decade of life. Hypertension is considered a preventable modern lifestyle disease which is preventable through lifestyle modifications. Standard American Lifestyle factors such as smoking, being overweight or obese, lack of physical activity, carbohydrates, harmful oils, chemicals, processed foods, genetically engineered laden foods in our diet, alcohol and stress are certainly within our control.
However, even with widespread public education about the hypertension risk factors and hypertension's continuing prevelance in our society, lifestyle modification has not been a succssful preventative or curative intervention. Lifestyle modifications can be hard to implement and often fail due to difficulties with their implementation and incorrect dietary, nutritional and lifestyle advice from educational, governemental and media sources which are heavily influenced by political and economic special interests such as the medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural and food processing industries.
Overlooked Behavioral Stress
Did you know there may be traumatically induced chronic pain, post traumatic stess, structural, and chemical abnormalities from injuries you have received from accidents and injuries in your life. These are behavioral stresses which may be eliminated or greatly reduced and could produce immediate normalization of your blood pressure? However, you will require expert assistance for qualified professionals to heal these behavioral stresses. Many of the hypertension causations may be obvious to you and your healthcare practioners, but you may have unhealed hidden and untreated or unsuccessfully treated, unhealed injuries which require a higher level of expertise to diagnose and treat effectively.
Environmental Stress
The prevalence of economic stress, social violence, social, emotional and mental suppression, environmental toxicity in our world causes apethy and resistence to lifestyle change. Greater capacity for coping with these stressors is required for successful natural, holistic blood pressure normalization. Your succeptability to environmental stress depends upon your lifestyle choices, genetic inheritance and current health status. As you acquire more knowledge about environmental stress and improve your health status, you will be able to make lifestyle choices which protect you from environmental stress.
Genetic Stress
If you inherited your genetic blueprint from ancestors who smoked, were overweight or obese, sedentary, ate a poor diet, drank alcohol excessively and were stressed out, then you probably have genetic predispositions to these stressors causing you more intensely adverse health reactions from exposure to them. Just like when laboratory rats are raised on an incompatible foods such as sugar, the first rats to be fed the sugar suffer from blood sugar instability, metabolic syndrome and high blood pressure, but as each generation of offspring continues to be fed the sugar, the inhereted genetic weakness from dietary stress causes rapidly deteriorating health of the animals producing predominant sterility, stillborn offspring and early death within 1 to 3 generations.
Contrary to popular opinion, your genetic code is not the same throughout your life. Your genes are changing from moment to moment and improve with each improvement in your lifestyle and your health.
Is your perception of what is normal conflicted?
The New Oxford American Dictionary definition 1. of normal is, "Conforming to a standard; usual, typical or expected." Within that first definition is the bulleted definition, "(Of a person) free from physical or mental disorders." Can you see how by conforming to the normal "Standard; usual, typical or expected" American lifestyle we could become ill and lose our freedom from mental or physical disorders?
Assuming most humans are born with the natural capacity for being healthy and vibrant, and since the high prevalence of hypertension in society is almost considered normal, for you to beat hypertension, perhaps you might consider becoming socially abnormall and pursue abnormal, healthier lifestyle modifications which do not conform to the standard, usual, typical or expected lifestyle of our society.
How will you treat your primary Hypertension Causations?
Your treatment for these first level hypertension causations will require strategically designed modifications to your diet, nutrition and lifestyle and expert health with healing your traumatically induced injuries and any stored psychosomatice influences associated with them. Are you willing to become "weird and different" and set upon your own individual course toward health and wellness?

How to Naturally and Holistically Treat Your Secondary Hypertension Causations
The higher you are positioned upon the emotional scale, the faster and more complete you will respond to treatment. Your habit of thought creates your reality by determining where you are on the emotional scale and how successfully you interact with your world. Where are you on the emotional scale? Is your habit of thought making you happy and joyful, enthusiastic, bored, angry or are you depressed?

Is your habit of thought making you happy and joyful, enthusiastic, bored, angry or are you depressed?
Do you have a history of physical, mental or emotional trauma?
Are you experiencing pain? A history of pain and trauma indicate there are somatoemotional or psychosomatic (mind-body) issues which are keeping you from rising up the emotional scale. Your ability to implement your lifestyle changes, comply with and respond to your treatment procedures and protocols is directly related to your position upon the emotional scale.
Would You Like to Try Groover Clinic's Somatoemotional Processing?
Groover Clinic's pain elimination procedures, structural functional corrective procedures, specific diet, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle protocols will elevate your emotions, but depending upon where you are upon the emotional scale, somatoemotional processing will be essential to or will greatly enhance your treatment program.
Groover Clinic's Somatoemotional Processing will directly relieve stored psychosomatic physical, mental and emotional traumas which are freezing you mentally, emotionally and physically at the time of your past traumas. These stored traumas create rigid patterns in your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies that keep you from effectively receiving, implementing and respinding to your office visits and doctor supervised self-treatment. Groover Clinic's Somatoemotional Processing assists you in eliminating your stored traumas so you can fully return to present time and become unencumbered by rigid holding patterns of the past which act as barriers to clear, rational thinking, optimal mental and physical energy, pain relief, structural and functional healing, normalization of your body chemistry, and rising up on the emotional scale.
How Does The Transcendental Meditation Program Elevate Your Emotions and Contribute to Normalizing Your Blood Pressure?
Would you like to know how Transcendental Meditation can help lower your high blood pressure?
To further augment your somatoemotional processing, treatment procedures, diet, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle recommendations, you are invited to attend one of Groover Clinic's free Transcendental Meditation Introductory Lectures and be considered for instruction in the Transcendental Meditation Program at Groover Clinic by one of the clinic's recently re-certified teacher's of the Transcendental Meditation Program?
The Transcendental Meditation Program is higly renown, particularly within the scientific community for relieving stess, improving mental function, happiness and among many other benefits, lowering high blood pressure.
The following is a partial list of hypertension pertinent research on the benefits of the Transcendental Meditation Program for reducing blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, reduction in mortality, hypertension, atherosclerosis, congestive heart failure, and brain reactivity to pain:
Groover Clinic's Optimal Hydration Program gives you specific recommendations for the quantity and quality of your daily water consumption and for the elimination of factors in your diet which cause dehydration. As you procede with Groover Clinic's neuromuscular corrective care, your muscles will relax and your blood vessels will dilate. Your cells will be predisposed to achieving normal hydration. Then, by consuming the optimal water quantity and quality needed for driving all your metabolic processes, your cells will absorb the water they require for effective purification, self-regulation and energy production.
Nutrition
Would you like to receive a comprehensive functional blood chemistry analysis to determine the status of your metabolic health, rule out any current pathology? Your functional blood chemistry analysis will indicate specific nutritional supplementation and diet, exercise and lifestyle recommendations to improve your metabolism. After your initial term of nutrition, diet and lifestyle interventions, a follow-up functional blood chemistry analysis is performed to determine the success of these interventions and indicate long term supplementation, diet, exercise and lifestyle practices for further long term improvement and stabilization of the progress you have achieved with your metabolism.
Breath
Short, shallow, more rapid breathing is associated with stress, anxiety and poor health. Improving your thinking, hydration, and nutrition, will deepen, lengthen and calm your breathing, helping your brain and body's metabolism receive better O2 and CO2 exchange for improved mental and metabolic function and better health. By improving your abnormal joint biomechanics and improving the movement of your spine and rib cage, you will greatly improve the respiratory motion of your chest and increase your lung capacity.
Sleep
Sufficient deep, restorative sleep is required for good mental function, energy production, relaxation, successful, health and healing and sucess. Your sleep quality will improve after improving the quality of your thinking, hydration, breath, nutrition and pain is resolved. Additional improvements in your sleep quality be obtained through following specific recommended herbal, homeopathic, aromatherapy and other sleep enhancements.
Life is movement. Therefore, the quality of your health and the quality of your life depend upon the quality of your movement. If your movement is restricted by pain, stiffness or weakness, lowering your blood pressure will be more complicated.
Groover Clinic's top down, bottom up, inside out approach to better movement begins by correcting your postural frame. This process begins by leveling your pelvis, establishing your pelvis, upper back and head upon your true central axis (actual center of gravity), balancing the standing weight distribution between the right and left sides of your body and correcting your physiological short leg.
Next, your abnormal pelvis biomechanics are corrected to provide a stable foundation for your spine and to eliminate or greatly relieve abnormal pelvis, spine and lower extremity movement and their accompanying neurological and muscular abnormalities, inflammation and pain.

Then, further biomechanical improvements are made as necessary in the areas of your spine, rib cage, jaw, cranium, and other extremity joints (shoulders, arms, wrists, hands, legs, ankles and feet).
These manual joint corrective procedures are followed by functional corrective exercise assessment and specific functional, corrective exercise prescription. Your corrective exercise program is designed to activate and strengthen appropriate postural and core muscles for further improvement in your movement. Your corrective exercise program will reduce spinal and extremity joint gravitational stress, and contribute to the conservation of your energy and stabilization of your spinal and extremity joints to improve and maintain your optimal joint biomechanics.
Improving your neurology is essential for blood pressure normalization, because your nervous system, is your blood pressure regulator. The nucleus tractus solitarius of your brain stem is the central control center for you heart. It gives messages to your heat muscle telling it how fast and how hard to contract based upon neurological feedback from blood pressure sensors in the blood vessels of your neck.
Your brainstem passes through your foramen magnum (big hole) at the base of your head and proceeds down the neural canal formed by the stacking of arches formed at the back side of your neck vertebra. Your brain stem exists within this neural canal as far down as the third vertebra from the top of your neck. The alignment and motion of this upper part of your spine's neural canal is critically important for the health and function of your nucleus tractus solitarius.
Unfortunately, the part of your spine at the base of your head is extremely vulnerable to traumatic misalignment from current or past collisions, falls, sports injuries, and major and minor motor vehicle accidents. Misalignment of this upper cervical spine will produce distortion of your upper neural canal and create tension or compression of your brain stem and your nucleus tractus solitarius. Nucleus tractus solitarius dysfunction from this tension and compression causes poor regulation of your blood pressure making it rise out of control.
This illustration describes the four major components of the upper cervical spinal misalignment, head tilt, C1 (Atlas) side slip, C1 rotation, and angular rotation of the lower neck.
By correcting your upper cervical misalignment, your brain stem is freed from tension and compression and the nucleus tractus solitarius regulation of your blood pressure may return to normal.
The following illustration represents normal alignment of your upper cervical spine.
Objectively verifiable correction of the upper cervical spine is accomplished by a small number of clinics throughout the world, such as Groover Clinic, who deliver this specific procedure.
Research on this specific procedure published in the Journal of Human Hypertension shows 17% average reduction in systolic blood pressure with hypertensive patients.
Your autonomic nervous system regulates your blood pressure. Your autonomic nervous system is that part of your nervous system which controls and regulates your internal organs without any conscious recognition or effort on your part. Your autonomic nervous system comprises two antagonistic sets of nerves, your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Your sympathetic nervous system connects the internal organs to the brain by spinal nerves. When stimulated, these nerves prepare you for stress by increasing your heart rate, increasing blood flow to your muscles, and decreasing blood flow to your skin. Your parasympathetic nervous system exits your brain through cranial nerves in your brain stem, the primary one being your vagus nerve, and through your sacrum at the base of your spine.
